You’ll find a variety of education options at a hospital near you. Many locations offer patient education seminars on specific health conditions. You’ll benefit from the knowledge of local experts and the support of others who share your experience.

CPR and first aid

Training in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and first aid is a good idea for everyone, especially if you’re responsible for children or older adults or live with someone with a medical condition like heart disease or epilepsy. You never know when having a lifesaving skill could help you protect someone you love or be a hero to a stranger.
